i’m one of those guys who loves a good spreadsheet and stats.
f1 fanatic has always voted on the best drivers of the weekend, and i assign them points from 25 to 1 based on the number of votes. after abu dhabi, this is the f1 fanatic championship standing, with vettel exactly 25 points clear of hamilton.

yeah you have to be considered the best of the weekend by someone to get into this ranking – that’s why it’s tough for rosberg. massa gets points because some brazilians vote on him every week, no matter what – sometimes 2 votes are enough to finish in 10th or 9th.

@david-a – That’s because everyone had their opinions of Vettel having a “stroll in the park” drive, whereas Hamilton was battling in both of these races. Yes, Vettel was defending half of the race in Spain and Hamilton was doing the hustling. Vettel should of won the Spain version simply for his defending and not letting LH through, but some could argue that LH couldn’t get by because at the end of straight, he was bouncing on the limiter.

I, too, find it very odd to see Hamilton so high up! And this is coming from a LH supporter! I think he has been 6th best all season.

@jt19 – I guess the improvement Hamilton showed in Korea from a run of poor races up to that point contributed to him getting it in Korea, but I stil think Vettel should have got the Spanish DOTW. Hamilton also got 12 points in this ranking because of the people who voted him 4th at Monaco.

It’s a shame Rosberg always gets overlooked, he didn’t get much recognition in Abu Dhabi.
